Eddie The Bird appears in Cyborg , Pharaoh, Killers and Shaman guises in Legacy Of The Beast simultaneously, giving players “the chance to team multiple birds, as well as deploy them alongside their own greatest allies.”

Interactive creative director at Phantom Music Management, Llexi Leon says: “Rovio outdid themselves with an incredible tribute to Maiden last Halloween and now it’s time for players of our own mobile game to enjoy these fantastic characters within the worlds of Legacy Of The Beast.”

VP Games and product lead for Angry Birds Evolution, Miika Tams adds “As huge metal fans, we’re delighted to see our tribute to Iron Maiden continue through into Legacy Of The Beast.

“Eddie The Bird has been a massive hit in our game and we’re sure that players of Legacy will have just as much fun with him!”
